IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Sony WF C500's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. In comparison to the Sony WF C500, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety
and that of liquids is that,
Sony WF C500 has a lower liquid rating than Jabra Elite 7 Pro

Sony WF C500's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
